Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0097234A2] A programming metnoa and structure for operating a computing system to restart a total subsystem or a subset of that subsystem to an operable state following a total interruption (system failure or termination, either normal or abnormal). The subsystem isolates inoperable resources while permitting the others to resume by independently maintaining in a first structure 90 the completion state 116, 120 of a resource manager's recovery responsibility with respect to each interrupted work unit and in a second structure 70 the operational states 82 and recovery log interest scopes 84, 86 of each resource manager. The completion state can be influenced by the starting or not of a resource manager, and if restarted, the presence or absence of a resource subset required to accomplish the work unit recovery.
